Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of micro-electromechanical systems or organic light-emitting diodes, in particular to a photoresist composition and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, the use of optical devices has increased dramatically, and it is common to implant very complex multifunctional instruments such as smartphones or cameras. At the heart of this type of optics is an array of micromirrors that are used for the collection or emission of light. Currently, the most common method of industrially manufacturing micromirror arrays is thermal reflow of photoresist. The photoresist serves as a pattern transfer, i.e., transferring a pattern from a reticle to a corresponding substrate. One of the most common methods is: photoresist is coated on a substrate, exposure and development are carried out to obtain a pattern, which is usually a pattern of lines, columns or cylinders arranged regularly, and then the pattern is heated and reflowed to flow into a semicircle.
Typically, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin in the photoresist is 100-120 ℃, but the unexposed photosensitizer in the photoresist can be decomposed at high temperature to serve as a crosslinking agent to initiate resin crosslinking, the Tg of the crosslinked resin is 140-150 ℃, and in order to obtain better micro-mirror morphology, the reflow temperature is at least 50 ℃ higher than the Tg, namely above 200 ℃. However, due to the limitation of the production process with severe temperature requirements, too high a temperature cannot be used, and therefore, development of a photoresist with a lower reflow temperature is needed.

The addition of the additive makes the photoresist composition of the present application more flowable at low temperatures to obtain better micromirror morphology. The additive can not be bleached and absorbed in the G line and the I line, and after light development, the shape of the micro mirror array is more trapezoidal, so that the micro mirror array is more convenient for flow forming.

it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in the present application, the above "parts" are not limited to specific mass units, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual situations, and only need to be added in proportion. For example: g. kg or t, etc.
The additive provided by the application flows more easily at low temperature, so that the photoresist composition can be quickly reflowed to form a micromirror array with good morphology at a low temperature of less than or equal to 110 ℃. In addition, the additive can not be bleached and absorbed in the G line and the I line, and after light development, the shape of the micro mirror array is more trapezoidal, so that the micro mirror array is more convenient for flow forming.
The photoresist composition has lower reflux temperature, can avoid the crosslinking temperature of resin, can quickly reflux at a low temperature of less than or equal to 110 ℃ to form a hemispherical micromirror array with good appearance, and can be used in a production process with strict temperature requirements. And the method still meets the reflow process for the patterns with smaller size or larger height-width ratio, does not have the phenomenon of protruding top, and can reflow to form the micro-mirror array with good appearance.
In one embodiment of the present application, the components of the photoresist composition may further include a leveling agent, etc. In the present application, the kind of leveling agent is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. For example, the leveling agent may be selected from at least one of an ionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant. Preferably a nonionic surfactant. Specifically, it may include a FC-4430 surfactant (manufacturer: 3M company in the United states), a FC-4432 surfactant (manufacturer: 3M company in the United states), a fluoro-diol, POLYFOX PF-636 (manufacturer: european Union (Shanghai)) a POLYFOX PF-6320 (manufacturer: european Union (Shanghai)) a POLYFOX PF-656 (manufacturer: european Union (Shanghai)) a POLYFOX PF-6520 (manufacturer: european Union (Shanghai)) and the like. The amount of the leveling agent used in the present application is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. The use of the leveling agent can reduce the surface tension between the phenolic novolac resin, the photosensitizer, the plasticizer and the organic solvent in the photoresist composition, so that the phenolic novolac resin, the photosensitizer and the plasticizer are uniformly dispersed in the organic solvent. Further, the linear resin, the photosensitizer and the plasticizer in the photoresist layer obtained by coating the photoresist composition are uniformly distributed, so that the photoresist layer can be prevented from being spotted or linear marks.
In one embodiment of the present application, the phenolic novolac resin includes at least one of polycondensates formed by condensation polymerization of cresol compounds and aldehydes. In the present application, the p-cresol compound is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. For example, the cresol compound may include at least one of m-cresol, p-cresol, o-cresol, xylenol, and tricresyl. In the present application, the aldehyde compound is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. For example, the aldehyde compound may include at least one of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, and salicylaldehyde.
Preferably, the phenolic novolac resin comprises a polycondensate formed by condensation polymerization of m-cresol and p-cresol with formaldehyde, wherein the molar ratio of the m-cresol to the p-cresol is 1:1-1:4, preferably 1:1-1:2.5.
The phenolic novolak resin according to any of the preceding embodiments, is capable of improving the chemical resistance and adhesion of the photoresist composition. The novolac resin of the foregoing preferred embodiment can more remarkably improve the chemical resistance and adhesion of the photoresist composition.
In one embodiment of the application, the weight average molecular weight of the phenolic novolac resin is in the range of 2000 to 15000, preferably 2000 to 8000, more preferably 3000 to 5000. The weight average molecular weight of the phenolic novolac resin is too small (for example, less than 2000), the heat resistance of the phenolic novolac resin is reduced, and the phenomenon of softening and flowing of the photoresist is easily caused; the excess weight average molecular weight of the phenolic novolac resin (e.g. greater than 15000) and the lower sensitivity of the phenolic novolac resin will result in an increase in the energy required to expose the photoresist layer. By controlling the weight average molecular weight of the novolac resin within the above range, the photoresist has high heat resistant temperature and good photosensitivity.
In one embodiment of the present application, the sensitizer comprises a compound formed by reacting diazonaphthoquinone with a polycyclic compound having a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups; wherein the molar ratio of the diazonaphthoquinone to the polycyclic compound with a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups is 1:1-1:4, preferably 1:2-1:3.
In the present application, the kind of the diazonaphthoquinone is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. For example, the diazonaphthoquinone may be selected from 2-diazonaphthoquinone-1-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonyl chloride or 2-diazonaphthoquinone-1-naphthoquinone-5-sulfonyl chloride. In the present application, the type of the polycyclic compound having a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. For example, the polycyclic compound having a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups may be selected from the group consisting of 2,3, 4-trihydroxybenzophenone, 2',4' -tetrahydroxybenzophenone, 2', any one of 3, 4-tetrahydroxybenzophenone, 2,3, 4' -Tetrahydroxybenzophenone (THBP), 1-tris (4-hydroxyphenyl) ethane or 1, 1-tris (4-hydroxyphenyl) methane, preferably 2,2', 4' -tetrahydroxybenzophenone or 2,2',3, 4-tetrahydroxybenzophenone.
For example, the sensitizer may include at least one of the following compounds B1 and B2. Wherein, the compound B1 is formed by the reaction of 2,3,4 '-tetrahydroxybenzophenone and 2-diazonium-1-naphthoquinone-5-sulfonyl chloride (DNQ) according to the mol ratio of 1:2, and the compound B2 is formed by the reaction of 2,3, 4' -tetrahydroxybenzophenone and 2-diazonium-1-naphthoquinone-5-sulfonyl chloride according to the mol ratio of 1:3.
The photosensitive agent of the application contains diazonaphthoquinone and polycyclic compound with a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups, so that the photoresist composition has photosensitive property, can generate chemical reaction after exposure, and can be dissolved in a developing solution.
In one embodiment of the present application, the plasticizer is selected from at least one of epoxy compounds, ester compounds, ether compounds, polyhydroxy compounds, and polymers thereof. Preferably, the plasticizer is at least one selected from the group consisting of 4,4- (1-isopropylidene) bis (2, 6-bisphenol) (C1), 2',4' -tetrahydroxybenzophenone, 2,3,4 '-tetrahydroxybenzophenone, 2',4 '-dihydroxypropiophenone, 2,4' -dihydroxydiphenylmethane, dibutyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, methyl vinyl ether and polymethyl vinyl ether. The use of plasticizers of the above type can increase the photospeed, resulting in a reduction in the energy required to expose the photoresist composition to light, allowing the photoresist composition to flow at lower temperatures, and thus can also improve the lithographic efficiency.
In one embodiment of the present application, the organic solvent is selected from at least one of Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether Acetate (PGMEA), propylene Glycol Methyl Ether (PGME), diheptanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, ethyl lactate, anisole, cyclopentanone, xylene, ethyl acetate, and butyl acetate. Preferably at least one selected from PGMEA, ethyl lactate and di-heptanone. The organic solvent has good dissolution property and coating property, and the linear phenolic resin, the photosensitive agent, the plasticizing agent and the additive in the photoresist composition can be more uniformly dissolved in the organic solvent by selecting the organic solvent, so that the linear phenolic resin, the photosensitive agent, the plasticizing agent and the additive in the photoresist layer formed by the photoresist composition are more uniformly distributed.
In the present application, the method of preparing the photoresist composition is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. For example, the method of preparing the photoresist composition of the present application may include the steps of: dissolving the linear phenolic resin, the photosensitizer, the plasticizer and the additive in an organic solvent, and uniformly mixing to obtain a photoresist composition; wherein, the weight portions of the phenolic resin are 10 to 50 portions, 1 to 10 portions of the photosensitizer, 0.1 to 5 portions of the plasticizer, 0.1 to 5 portions of the additive and 40 to 100 portions of the organic solvent.
It should be noted that, since Ultraviolet (UV) is included in natural light, in order to prevent chemical reaction from occurring due to UV during the preparation of the photoresist composition, the chemical stability of the photoresist composition is affected, and in one embodiment of the present application, the photoresist composition is prepared in an environment without UV. For example, the linear phenolic resin, the photosensitizer, the plasticizer and the additive are dissolved in an organic solvent under a yellow light environment and uniformly mixed, so that the photoresist composition is obtained.
In the present application, the order of mixing the above-mentioned novolac resin, sensitizer, plasticizer, additive and organic solvent, mixing time, and mixing temperature are not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved.
The second aspect of the present application provides the use of the photoresist composition of the present application as a G-line photoresist or an I-line photoresist. Wherein, the photoresist composition of the application is used as G line photoresist, and the exposure light source has a wavelength of 436nm. The photoresist composition of the present application was used as an I-line photoresist, and the exposure light source was 365nm in wavelength.
Photoresist refers to an etching-resistant thin film material whose solubility is changed by irradiation or radiation of ultraviolet light, electron beam, ion beam, X-ray, or the like. Typically used as a material for a corrosion resistant coating during a lithographic process. Photoresists can be classified into positive photoresists and negative photoresists according to the chemical reaction mechanism and development principle of the photoresist. The exposed areas of the positive photoresist undergo a photolytic reaction, degrading the photoresist into a substance that is soluble in the developer, thereby enabling the non-exposed areas of the photoresist to form a photoresist pattern that is the same or substantially the same as the mask pattern. The exposed areas of the negative photoresist undergo a cross-linking reaction and are insoluble in the developer, and the unexposed areas are soluble in the developer, thereby enabling the unexposed areas of the photoresist to form a photoresist pattern that is complementary or substantially complementary to the mask pattern.
The photoresist composition provided by the application is used as a G line photoresist or an I line photoresist, and is a positive photoresist, namely, the photoresist composition is insoluble in a developing solution before exposure, and after exposure, the chemical property of the part subjected to illumination is converted and can be dissolved in the developing solution so as to be removed.
The photoresist of the present application can be used as a base material for manufacturing a micromirror array. In the present application, the method of manufacturing the micromirror array is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. For example, the present application may employ a method of manufacturing a micromirror array comprising the steps of:
(1) Forming a photoresist layer having a thickness of 1-2 μm on a surface of a substrate, the photoresist layer comprising the photoresist composition of the present application;
(2) Exposing the photoresist layer by using a mask plate;
(3) Developing the exposed photoresist layer to obtain a photoresist pattern;
(4) And baking the photoresist pattern to reflow the photoresist pattern, thereby obtaining the micro-mirror array.
In the present application, the term "micromirror array" refers to an array of lenses with clear apertures and relief depths on the order of micrometers.
The method of forming the photoresist layer, exposing and developing is not particularly limited in the present application, as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. For example, the photoresist layer may be formed by spraying, flowing, dipping, rolling, or spin coating, etc. The method of exposure may include contact exposure, proximity exposure, projection exposure, or the like. The developing method can comprise immersion developing, continuous spray developing or puddle developing of the whole box silicon wafer. The developing solution to be used in the development is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved. For example, the developer may include tetramethylammonium hydroxide, and the like.
In the step (4), the reflow temperature of the photoresist pattern is less than or equal to 110 ℃, so that the photoresist pattern can be quickly reflowed at a low temperature to form a semicircular micromirror array with good morphology. The time of the reflow is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present application can be achieved.
In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1a, a photoresist layer 40 having a thickness of 1-2 μm is coated on a substrate 10, ultraviolet exposure is performed under a circular array of mask plates 50, and the exposed photoresist layer 40 is developed; as shown in fig. 1b, a photoresist pattern 20 of a cylindrical structure is obtained after development; as shown in fig. 1c, the photoresist pattern 20 of the cylindrical structure is heated to a molten state, and reflowed, and its surface tension converts the photoresist pattern 20 of the cylindrical structure into the photoresist pattern 31 of the hemispherical structure, thereby obtaining the micromirror array 30.
The photoresist composition is used as G line photoresist or I line photoresist to manufacture a micro-mirror array, can obtain a hemispherical micro-mirror array with good appearance at a low reflux temperature of less than or equal to 110 ℃, and can reflow a pattern with small size or large aspect ratio to form a micro-mirror array with good appearance, and the resolution is high.
